If the sum of the two numbers is 120 and their quotient is 5, then the difference of the two numbers is:

A) 115
B) 100
C) 80
D) 72

Correct Answer:



C) 80

Description for Correct answer:
Let the two numbers be \( \Large\textit{x}\)and \( \Large\textit{y}\)

According to question

\( \Large x+y=120 \) .....(i)

\( \Large \frac{x}{y}=5 \)

\( \Large x=5y \) put in ........(ii)

\( \Large 5y+y=120 \)

\( \Large 6y=120 \)

\( \Large y=20 \)

\( \Large x=100 \)

Difference = 100 - 20 = 80
